Obesity is a well-known risk factor of atherosclerosis and heart failure. In the human heart, a local endothelin system containing prepro-endothelin-1, endothelin-converting enzyme-1, and endothelin receptors A and B has been described. The endothelin system is activated in heart failure; however, the impact of obesity on the cardiac endothelin system is unknown. In this study, 18-week-old male...
INTRODUCTION varicose veins are tortuous and poorly contractile. Their aetiology remains unclear. Neovascularisation has been suggested as a possible explanation. Endothelins are mitogenic, promoting proliferation and migration of endothelial cells via endothelin-B receptors. We hypothesise that endothelial cells and endothelin receptor density and distribution may play a role in the developmen...
Endothelin-1 inhibits sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb (THAL) via stimulation of nitric oxide (NO) production. The mechanism whereby endothelin-1 stimulates THAL NO is unknown. We hypothesized that endothelin-1 stimulates THAL NO production by activating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), stimulating Akt activity, and phosphorylating NOS3 at Ser1177. This enhances NO productio...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endothelins are a recently discovered group of most powerful vasoconstrictor peptides. Endothelin-1 is produced by endothelial cells, and endothelin-3 is derived from neuronal tissue. Theoretically, endothelin-mediated vasoconstriction may enhance ischemic neuronal damage. This study aimed to measure plasma levels of both endothelins in patients with acute nonhemorrhagic ...
Tspan8 is a member of the tetraspanins family cell surface molecules. The ability to organize membrane microdomains with other molecules and interfere their function suggests that they could act as integrators external or internal signals. Among first identified tetraspanins, promotes tumor progression metastasis, presumably by stimulating angiogenesis motility. In patients, its expression on d...
This study tested whether sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase regulates the ability of endothelin receptor antagonist to inhibit the endothelin-1 constriction. The endothelin A receptor antagonist BQ-123 (1 microM) completely relaxed constriction to 10 nM endothelin-1 in endothelium-denuded rat aorta. Challenge with cyclopiazonic acid (10 microM), a sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticul...
Recent reports have indicated that endothelin-induced vasoconstriction in isolated aortic vascular rings may be mediated by the production of superoxide anion. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of superoxide anion in mediating the chronic renal and hypertensive actions of endothelin. Endothelin-1 (5 pmol/kg per minute) was chronically infused into the jugular vein by use of mi...
Endothelin-1 is a novel endothelium-derived vasoconstrictive peptide. Using a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for endothelin-1, plasma levels of immunoreactive endothelin-1 were measured in 32 research subjects with normal renal function (21 normal subjects and 11 patients with essential hypertension), 24 patients with nondialyzed chronic renal failure, and 51 patients undergoing...
